A Long way Down (Broché)

"Can I explain why I wanted to jump off the top of a tower block ? " For disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp the answer's pretty simple : he has, in his own words, 'pissed his life away'. And on New Year's Eve he's going to end it all... but not, as it happens, alone.

They've stolen his idea - but brought their own reasons. Yet it's hard to jump when you've got an audience queuing impatiently behind you. A few heated words and some slices of cold pizza later and these four strangers are suddenly allies. But is their unlikely friendship a good enough reason to carry on living ?
